attaching surfaces
this is my first attempt modeling a head, so I dont know if asking the following is a heck. -> with nurbsPatchModeling I ended up attaching 3 surfaces... and now comes the problem - I built the surfaces in a so damn stupid way, I simply can´t connect them without either loosing the natural shape of the neck or rebuilding the whole thing.
maybe theres a quick way connecting 3 surfaces at once or something like that?

-this will never be exact. even if u do it this way. tis just the nature of nurbs, they are mathematically calculated, but thisis as close as u can get doing it manually.
after the curves have been detatched, u can then point snap them on each other, positioning them right on top of each other.
-then u would have to tweak the cv closest to the snapped points to get the tengency to match properly.

Yes, I had this plan too, but in the end I found out about one simple command:
Cut Curve
With 2 copies of the same profiles tweaking is fun now and really fast.
PS: yesterday I searched for a command like CutCurve for 2 hours - today I found it right after starting maya. nevertheless - thank U for answering!
